Sjokoladefondant Chocolate Fondant Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and generously grease 6 ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter. Dust with a little flour to prevent sticking.

2. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the batter light and airy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the batter until no streaks remain. The batter should be thick and glossy.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each one about 3/4 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep a close eye on them to avoid overcooking.

8. Once done, carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let the cakes sit for a minute or two before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen them. Place a plate on top of the ramekin and quickly invert to unmold the cakes onto the plates.

9. Dust the warm Sjokoladefondants with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
